This game is almost nothing like the previous DOW games. There is no base building or strategy involved. Its basically an arcade shooter that is full of bugs and needs hours worth of patches . It is apparent that THQ spends 90% of their development on making cool intros and CGI....the game itself is laughably easy and short

The real kicker is that you have to be logged onto Windows live and STEAM(spyware) to even play the single player game. Make no mistake, you are not buying this game, you are merely renting it from STEAM any time you want to play it. To make matters worse, this game is designed to work primarily on Vista. If you use XP, dont even bother trying to play this. What a complete waste of money!!! I cant believe THQ totally sold out us gamers...........................................................................................................................................
